I have made available the #LuaLaTeX style used in my books, including ‘Form & Number: A History of Mathematical Beauty’ [https://archive.org/details/cain_formandnumber_ebook_large], after several people emailed me to express an interest. The style (called "minos") is available here: https://codeberg.org/ajcain/minos

The style was written for my own use, and so the documentation is basic and the functionality follows precisely my own needs. I am not going to submit it to CTAN. It is probably more useful as a source of ideas and experimentation than as a style for anyone else.

Some of the ideas and techniques in "minos" were used in a re-typeset edition of G.H. Hardy's pamphlet ‘Bertrand Russell & Trinity: A college controversy of the last war’ [https://archive.org/details/hardy_russellandtrinity] (making which was an exercise for me to learn about the LaTeX tagging system), whose source code is also available and much more extensively commented: https://codeberg.org/ajcain/hardy_russellandtrinity

@ajcain Thanks so much for sharing this! I discovered your marginalia package in October, and it became invaluable for writing my lecture notes. I look forward to reading through both sets of sources to learn more.

@consequently I'm glad you are finding "marginalia" useful!

Thank you for the link to your beautifully typeset lecture notes. I have only had time to glance at them, but I intend to peruse them more closely soon.

@ajcain This looks great. I think I've missed mins-doc.pdf in the repo, though - it's referred to in the readme, but I only saw the .tex file for it.

@iainhallam Thank you! If you select "Releases" at the top of the page, there are links for downloading the PDF as well as as the sources as .zip or .tar.gz.
